Hawaiian Macaroni Salad

1 pound macaroni

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 carrots, shredded

1/4 cup shredded onion (optional)

2 1/2 cups mayonnaise

1/4 cup milk

2 tsp sugar

kosher salt, to taste

ground black pepper to taste

Cook macaroni according to package directions. Rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well and place in a large bowl. Sprinkle on vinegar. Add carrot and onion. Toss together until well combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, or until cooled.

In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, milk, and sugar. Fold the mayo mixture into the macaroni until all the noodles are evenly coated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (best if overnight). Gently stir before serving, add a little more milk if needed, no more than a tablespoon or two.

We tried several times to find a mac salad recipe that we liked. A friend brought this one and we loved it. We serve it with the Kalua Pig recipe.
